I've decided that I'm probably not going to do a lot of quilting in the future and I'm going to start selling the stash. I have a large amount that I'm donating to a local group that makes Quilts of Valor but there's a lot of fabric here. There are several Facebook groups that allow selling fabric. I've joined a couple but decided to offer some of it here if there's any interest. There are ...
Organizing Floss
When people say "You are so organized!", I laugh and my response for so many years has been "I'm so unorganized, I make myself look organized!" My DMC is pretty organized, the overdyes are organized by brand on rings in alphabetical order, the Colour & Cotton and Victorian Motto floss is all organized by color but . . the Vikki Clayton Silk . . somewhat organized but not enough that I felt ...

I don't need the July - ...
Salads in Jars
I just went back and looked and the first blog post I wrote about vacuum sealing salads in jars was in 2011 so I've been doing it for a very long time. This was the first blog post I read about doing this and then I tried it. I love Thousand Island Dressing and I add a chopped boiled egg and a bit of grated cheddar cheese to it but right now, my favorite dressing is this Everyday Salad ...
Meal Planning & Grocery Shopping
Last night I was talking to a friend and she was saying that she had no idea what she was going to cook for dinner today but she needed to come up with a plan or they would end up going out to eat. When I got in bed, I was thinking . . I wish I could be a little more like that. We're all different and the best thing for me is to know what I expect of myself and do it. If I don't write things ...
